again, thanks darryl and prime for the help. i am planning on getting a sendero in 300UM and eventually getting it rebarreled. how bad is the recoil on a sendero 300UM? if i decide to go the tomahawk route, where do you get dies from, and how much do they cost? and for my last question is, how do you prep your remington brass for the tomahawk? sorry for the long post, and thanks for all the help
